Export Google Vids directly to YouTube
You can now publish the videos you create in Google Vids directly to YouTube. This saves you a few steps - previously you would export the project as an MP4 file, then go to YouTube to upload the file.
Whether you are creating marketing videos, training materials, or educational content, this feature reduces manual effort and simplifies the publishing process.
To maintain security and provide creative control, all exported videos are initially set to Private. You can review the content in YouTube Studio before choosing to set the visibility to Public or Unlisted.

Use the new option in the File menu to export your video directly to YouTube. |
